Muir = Choss

You like your steak burnt, squeezindlemmon. You don't need it to be dripping with A-1 when it's cooked properly - medium or med rare! 8)

Gym climbers pose more danger to new rock than anyone else -- they don't know when to not pull on that huge flake that's obviously going to break off.

It's interesting to see the reaction of a gym climber when a plastic hold does break. It's like the world is coming to an end. With any outside experience where holds do break with greater frequency, it's just a matter of course.

Drama in the indoors!

I for one have heard nothing but good things about Muir Valley. I have not had the opportunity to climb there yet but look forward to doing so this Fall. Thanks Rick for your thoughtful response and I appreciate the opportunity you have given all of us to climb on your land. I have completed a waiver on-line and will be headed your way soon. Bring on the cool weather....

I was with GWG on Saturday and finally got to go to Muir. It is a very very cool place to climb. Because the climbs are new, some were kinda dirty still, but the flip-side is there was more friction too. I really enjoyed getting outside to a new area. I don't recall anything breaking on us while we climbed. One hold was kinda cracked to the bottom but I always try to pull more in a downward direction - as opposed to outwards on holds like that, it stayed put. Nice place, I hope to get back there soon! Thanks to Rick and Liz.

I climbed at Muir all weekend. It was fabulous. We saw Rick and Liz on Saturday and they welcomed us to their land only requesting that we have fun. Thanks for y'all's hospitality and gift to the climbing community. It is a truly generous gift that will be remembered and appreciated for a long time to come.

This thread is a perfect example of something positive coming from something negative.

I climbed there last weekend. I kinda liked it. Only problem I can see is that its not long before it becomes an outdoor gym and is overcrowded every weekend.

True that, Artsay! Rick and Liz: great people, great gift, great climbing!

You're a horrible person. There was time I wanted to meet you, however that time has now passed.

I will eat my steak rare alone, now.

*grumble*

Yeah man, I've tried many times to get her to eat a big fat juicy steak, but no luck. She doesn't know what she's missing. She burns the damn things.
